Aveline Rousoe
Her High Holiness Aveline Rousoe
Aveline Rousoe is a Hagiarch of the Pantheon of Heaven faith, making her one of the highest ranking priestesses of a faith that spans multiple countries and one of the most influential women in the world.
Aveline is blatantly ruthless in her personal persuit of power, authority and influence. She expects and demands the same fawning deference in the secular and political world as she is accustomed to in the religious world. Her position as Hagiarch of the Faith grants her almost unlimited access to vast amounts of wealth and money, as well as a nearly endless degree of influence and authority within the faith.
Mental characteristics
Intellectual Characteristics
Aveline is pedantic in the extreme. She is intimately familiar with the finer details of the practice of the Pantheon of Heaven faith and tries to use that familiarity to control as many of her religious associates and underlings as she can, as often as she can. This tendency to act as a supreme pedant is what drives her secular relationships with royal and noble members of government into such painful and uncomfortable encounters.
Morality & Philosophy
Aveline is utterly convinced that her "divine" authority as a Hagiarch of the Pantheon of Heaven faith extends completely into the secular spheres of the world. She fully expects and demands that the same deference and submission she experiences in the religious world be extended to her in the political world, as well. This view of the world has brought her into serious conflict with many nobles of the Kingdom of Aria, including the Count of Dunmor, the Countess of Aramor, and the King of Aria himself.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Aveline is ruthlessly ambitious and shameless in her propensity to use her position and authority within the faith to increase her power and influence in the political world. She lives a scandalously lavish lifestyle as a Hagiarch of the Pantheon of Heaven and travels from city to city living off the charity of the local Temples and the gold and treasure of their votive vaults.
Reign
Hagiarch for the last 5 years
Wealth & Financial state
While Aveline has nearly unlimited access to untold amounts of wealth, very little of it is actually hers. As a Hagiarch of the faith, she has the authority to enter any temple or shrine and take anything (or everything) from the votive vaults for whatever reasons she sees fit. By simply walking into a Temple, she can access, remove and dispense with literally tons of precious metals, jewels and coins.
